Tippy the owl is a wee little one;
He’s surely no bigger than your biggest thumb.
He loves exploring around his tree
And making his friends as happy as he.
But there’s one little problem in Tippy’s life,
And it tends to happen most every night.
You see, Tippy just tips right out of his bed;
He falls and then lands on top of his head!
This is no good! He’s got quite a bump
As you can imagine, this makes him a grump!
Tip has a friend, a bunny named Hop
With feet that bound and ears that flop
He loves to help others and lend them a hand
So he hopped as he thought and came up with a plan.
“I know,” he said “let’s put out a net!
This old thing will catch you, I bet!“
So Tippy decided to give it a try,
And as the sun set, he closed one eye.
Then drifting so sweetly and gently to sleep,
He began to lean forward not making a peep.
He awoke with a start and quickly he knew
The net hadn’t held, he‘d fallen right through!
“Well, that didn’t work!“ the bunny exclaimed,
Hanging his head and feeling ashamed.
“Don’t worry friend, this isn’t your fault.
If only I’d done a somersault,
Then maybe I wouldn’t have tumbled right through;
But nevertheless this bump is not new.
I suppose it’s just the way it must be,
I can’t seem to stay up in this ol’ tree.“
So Hop headed home ‘cause he needed to think
And just then a pan lid fell into his sink
For it had been sitting right there on the edge;
And closing the door made it fall off the ledge
This gave him a thought, one that was new;
And all of a sudden he knew what to do!
He ran back to his friend with heart full of glee;
Finally Tippy won’t fall from his tree!
“Tippy!” he shouted and ran through the door
“I know how to make you not fall anymore!
Just push your bed to the back of the tree!
You’ve been too close to the edge, you see!?“
So Tippy at once did just what Hop said
And never again fell out of his bed.
